COMPOSITION. About ten species (high variation of elytral patterns precludes a more exact estimation) from the Anisian–Sinemurian deposits of North America and Europe.
DIAGNOSIS. Body oblong and small. Head longer than pronotum. Metanotum more strongly sclerotised than other parts of body. Metaventrite transverse, metacoxa short, with small rounded femoral plates. Elytron subconvex, not wide, each with four dark longitudinal stripes. Wing short and wide, oblongum cell large and oval.
REMARKS. The genus is distinctive in having the body small and the elytra lacking grooves, each with four longitudinal dark stripes.
